"Somewhere"

This is a series of works, each with its own name. Although the number is limited, we will finally be resuming sales of vases bearing the name of Tetsuaki Nakao starting this year.

"Somewhere"

The deep blue of the summer galaxy night sky, a hallmark of the Galaxy Glaze. And the form that Tetsuaki Nakao has continued to create throughout his life as a ceramic artist, even before he created the Galaxy Glaze. "Somewhere" has variations in earthenware and white porcelain. This form, which he has continued to create across generations, now shines brightly, transcending the constraints of his life. There is a small bubble-like indentation on the surface of the neck.

"Somewhere"

When I, his son, saw this title, I found it unusual.

I felt that the author's inner thoughts were somehow leaking out through their choice of words.

However, even if the same glaze is applied, once the kiln is opened the color will be completely different. Since different expressions appear depending on various conditions such as the kiln, climate, and materials used, no two pieces are the same.

The stars in Galaxy Glaze are metal crystals.

Inside the Galaxy Glaze vessel, countless stars appear to shine .

This is a shining metal crystal .

The various metallic elements contained in the glaze are fired at a high temperature of around 1,250 degrees and then crystallized during the slow cooling process .

The crystals scatter light, so they shine differently when viewed indoors and outdoors. When you pour alcohol, water, or other liquids into them, they take on an even more different appearance.

Microwave and oven safe

Because it is fired at high temperatures, it will not crack or deform. You can use it just like regular tableware.

It's okay to scrub it with a scouring pad.

Because the crystals are embedded within the glass layer, there is no need to worry about them flaking off or thinning.

Pottery wheel and tatara making.

When you think of pottery, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the potter's wheel. Most of Gingayu's works are made by the potter Tetsuaki Nakao.

However, some tableware is made using the " Tatara" technique, which involves cutting thin sheets of clay . For example, the cup at the top of this photo is made on a potter's wheel, and the plate at the bottom is made using the Tatara method. Both are handmade, so there may be slight differences in size and curves.
